this is what i meant when i mentioned about the fact that Japan has tons of cute kids. ok i know this two aren't enough as evidence. i wanted to take more but i didn't really have the chance to because it was so crowded and i was rushing from place to place. so yeah. see the girl! she's carrying a bucket of popcorn! and the kid who crawled through this hole in some log at the shrine. the belief is that if u manage to crawl through u'll live till ripe old age. but the hole was so bloody small. you can't expect an old folk to crawl through it. so stupid! more to come!
tons of good food right? there were more but because i was too hungry i went into it straight away & it ain't very nice taking photos of half eaten food :X anyway, the cream puffs (top right and bottom right) r DAMN NICE. the cream's so fine it just melts in your mouth & the pastry's so crispy! yum! oh i had Black Sesame, and a mix of
Sakura Icecream (yes made from the FLOWER) & Green Tea icecream! *melts. and u see the 3 black eggs there. don't be mistaken. they're actually normal eggs inside. it's black apparently cuz they're cooked in this hot spring. so some chemical reaction w sulphur made it this way. each egg is said to lengthen your lifespan by 7 years! hahahah. the rest r meals which were delicious too. didn't manage to snap the sushi bento i had on the last day. that was heaven!
Tokyo Disneyland! we were there on the last day of their sch holidays. and boy was it PACKED as you can see from the top right photo. there're actually "parking lots" for baby prams! oh goodness. hahah but tons of cute kids. everything there was disney. and the rides were all quite kiddy but well just for fun! and i managed to catch the Disney Parade to celebrate their anniversary or something. it lasted for about an hour! it's like a Disney Chingay :D and thats us at tokyo disneyland! if u enlarge the photo, maybe you see the scary resemblance between my dad and i. because many relatives & friends say i look like him. i think inherited most of his features! lol!
alot of sakuras! hahahah. i was sooo glad i still managed to view them in full bloom. it's just beautiful! (: and i went to see the world's biggest Bronze Buddha! it is really hugeeee! anyway the bottom right photo is for
jingxiu!: aye aye i TRIED picking some sakuras back for you as promised but they withered like crazy even before i reached the hotel! so i had no choice but to throw them away ): but well, at least u knew i tried! heh! anyway, that day was just plain scenic!
i took the Shinkansen (bullet train) today! new experience. it was so damn cool! seriously. 300km/h! i think it'll take less than a minute to get from Changi Airport to BoonLay in that. HAHAHAH. it took us 15min to get from Toyohashi to Tokyo but it took 1.5hr for the coach driver to reach the same destination! how poorthing. i ate the black eggs that day too! so i've got 7more years to live. wonder if it's true especially after inhaling all that H2S vapour. stinks like mad. u can see the person cooking the eggs in one of the photos above! the eggs were white but emerged black aft cooking! i went to the MIGHTY MIGHTY MT FUJI too! we were lucky we could go up to the 5th station! (FYI: thats the highest a vehicle can go if weather permits. there're 10 stations. after the 5th u've to go on foot but we didn't cuz it's too dangerous) it was freaking cold but beautiful! (: then proceeded to some crystal palace. see me reaching for that crystal that weighs 130kg. u get gd luck touching it! (another belief)
the second last day! went to the well-known
Asakusa temple. it has this significantly huge and striking lantern. and it's 400m long Nakamise Shopping Street. tons of souvenirs and snacks. i tink i ate alot of snacks here and there cuz they were so irresistable. went to
Tokyo Tower too! where i bought the cream puffs from Chou Factory. they rock. and dinner w
lobster & abalone. what more can i ask for?!
okayy thats all from the japan trip! i didn't put up the first and last day since flight-time took up most of the time and a few other places cuz i had no time to snap photos. pardon me if you think there're not enough photos up because i've like close to 200 photos to choose from. lol!
Japan rocks! i must save money to go back there again. for sure. or maybe go back to Korea again? hahahah!
